Game Crashes With Steam, Works Fine Otherwise

[Xzorin_Tsara]

So, first off; I understand and fully admit that my PC is not up to scratch. However, I do meet the minimum requirements and can play the game just fine after optimizing through Raptr.

 

With that being said, I cannot run the game with the Steam launcher and overlay active. Whenever I launch through Steam, I can only play the game for maybe about 2 minutes before it crashes and loads the hardware failure web page, no matter what I'm doing (in my ship, opening a chest, shooting, whatever).

 

The weird part is, I can run the game just fine by manually launching through the C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/SteamApps/Common/Warframe/Tools folder. I played for over 8 hours yesterday with no crashes, lag, or issues.

 

I am running Windows 7 64 bit fully updated, and all my graphics drivers are up to date as well.

Same issue to me.

After many "uninstall/reinstall" with steam, I finally delete steam and download warframe directly from official website and everything runs fine again.

By the way, I still play Blizzard's game just fine which proof the Steam could involve this issue.

most likely was the steam overlay

had it happen to me once

disabled the overlay, worked fine afterwards

saved my having to re-download the whole game again via there website

or letting it dectect the installed files by running in manually
